Baby I can't make it straight   My boots got stuck and I can't wait   You're the one who's got no tongue   Look and see which way it's run   Man alive, I can't drive my two-bit cares away      Obituaries I seen right through   Brochures of the times we knew   Taxes on the days we spent   Repossessed and named and chained   Man alive, I can't drive my two-bit cares away      Accusations, suspects named   Battered husbands, cousins blamed   Holdin' up your trophy bones   Sticks and stones and lesser knowns   Man alive, I can't drive my two-bit cares away      And all your hopes can be derailed   Low salt (? ) in the seas you sailed   No dreams in the night you lie   All the stars stripped from the sky   Man alive, I can't drive my two-bit cares away   Man alive, I can't drive my two-bit cares away
